Nabeshima純米大吟醸 きたしずく
HIIRO
Slightly dry. It has a slightly sweet taste at first, followed immediately by umami and spiciness. It does not have a unique flavor or richness, but because of that, each flavor is in perfect harmony. It is a sake that goes well with seafood, hot pots, and other foods, and can be drunk on its own.

Zaku雄町 純米吟醸 2023
HIIRO
Unique, refreshing sweetness and slight acidity, like muscat. It is not that rich and the aftertaste is not intense.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
It is sweet without mixing, but sweeter when mixed. In terms of sweetness, it is a fresh sweetness similar to that of pears, but this fresh sweetness can be tasted in a very intense way. The sweetness is fresh and almost pear-like, but the fresh sweetness is quite intense, with a little sourness mixed in. The slightly carbonated, chili-like taste also adds to the sweetness.

HIIRO
It is clean and dry. When you put it in your mouth, you first feel sweet and sour like an apple (though more acidic than apple). After this sweet and sourness fades away, the aftertaste is also strong.

龍神丸純米大吟醸 袋吊るし雫取り 生原酒
HIIRO
I don't have the vocabulary to describe it well, but it has a very nice aftertaste with an elegant and strong sense of maturity. Although it is a dry sake, it is delicious with just the right combination of sweetness and umami. I have had other types of Ryujinmaru, but I got the impression that the aftertaste was even more assertive.

HIIRO
On the first day, the taste was clear, with a hint of bitterness and acidity, but on the second day, the first taste was slightly sweet, and then the bitterness and acidity seemed to override the sweetness. The aftertaste is more bitter and acid than spicy.
It is also good that when it is warmed up, it has a completely different umami taste.

It is quite different from the Sono Kangiku I drank before. It has a unique aftertaste that is hard to describe, but it tastes like sweetness with a hint of bitterness. Somehow, the packaging of the electric chrysanthemum? design of Densho Chrysanthemum. It tastes like a reproduction of the image of the packaging and design of Denshogiku.

The unique, elegant aroma is strongly felt at first, and when you put it in your mouth, it is just so refreshing and easy to drink. The sweet pear-like taste spreads afterwards.

Dassai純米大吟醸 三割九分 無濾過 槽場汲み
HIIRO
When I drank a regular Junmai Daiginjo-sharpened 30% to 90%, I felt the rich umami spreading to the palate, but this Okeba-kumi has a fresher feel, with just the right balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity.

HIIRO
Cold. It is not that sweet, but a gradual harmony of moderate acidity and bitterness. I got the impression that it would go well with pretty much any dish. The sake goes down well...

The taste is clean and refreshing, and soon becomes sweet and sharp at the same time. The sweetness is just right, without being too clingy.
